Now in it’s third year 51st State Festival, the premier event for celebrating the evolution of house music, returns to London’s Trent Park on 5th August with a fantastic line up of heavyweight DJ’s and legendary artists singing live across 6 arenas.

Bringing together the sounds of US House, UK Garage, Soul and some Reggae vibes, this year’s line-up will be headed up yet again by the undisputed kings of house, Masters At Work, who will be pushing the main stage to its limits as they lay down a dance music masterclass. Joining the ranks is the inimitable Dimitri from Paris, who will be bringing his distinct fusion house, disco and soul to ignite the main stage, while Backto95 host “Battle” and “Back up back up” hitmaker Wookie will be spinning a history of UKG. Elsewhere, new stage hosts FOUND will be bringing down the Chicago house with the legendary Derrick Carter.

The electric line-up continues on the We Love Soul stage, where the long-reigning queen of disco, Evelyn “Champagne” King, will demonstrate why she deserves her crown. If this wasn’t enough for what is shaping up to be one of the most pivotal events for dance fans across the globe, Grammy Award winning gospel icon BeBe Winans, rare groove pioneer Norman Jay MBE, and falsetto pro Byron Stingily will also be bringing their own visionary sounds to this guaranteed sell-out.
This year’s event promises to be fine-tuned with an easy bar, quicker entry, sharper sound systems and a state of the art production. With tickets already on fourth release, 51st State Festival 2017 is set to lay its own milestone in the annals of dance music history.
